The drive today was beautiful! Miles and miles of pretty much nothing! Way more cows than people and acres and acres of hay all bailed for the winter. We will thankfully be gone by then.

We made it to Rush-N o-More! While Bill was signing in Mindy and I made friends with the owner who offered us an exclusive site in a new area but we decided we'd like to be in the thick of things. It's more crowded but closer to showers, laundry and office and we figured a lot of these folks will go home tomorrow and it will be less crowded. We plan to range out each day anyway to see the sights, all of which are easy drives from here. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Badlands, museums and multitudes of tourist traps are close by. I have loads of pamphlets given to me at the border by a very nice, helpful attendant at the welcome center and we will plan our trips to best advantage. It is exciting to be in a place we've heard about but never seen! Today is the 4th of July and I don't know what activities will take place...maybe not much...but we don't care. Maybe we can find "Independence Day" on tv! We're just happy to be here. It's cool (in more ways than one!)

ON UR WA

Another prophetic name for our park. We will be on our way to SD tomorrow and Saturday and stay put there for a week. Lots to see there and we want to see it all!

Lazy Day

Tuesday and Wednesday we stayed at the Lazy Day park. Prophetic I thought. It was so pretty and we enjoyed the break.

Day 4

Today was a good day. A little longer than we want to drive but we arrived in plenty of time to set up before dark so not so bad, especially since there was a DQ close by so I didn't have to cook. On the way here we drove through Kansas City and from the hiway we could see the most amazing roller coaster! I took pics for Cameron. Next time he will have to come with us to actually get to ride!

Day 3

We just kicked back today. I watched to see how long a person could sleep before their brain turned to jelly but he woke up just before that happened. I'm ready to get back on the road tomorrow. We are heading to Kansas City, Omaha and stop at Sioux City for the night. We've added three new states to the map already and will add more tomorrow. Will try for Rapid City for the weekend and spend a few days seeing the sights around there. Lots to see in that area! Badlands National Park, Crazy Horse, Mt. Rushmore and more! Thinking about you and missing you.
